A. Which material is better for manufacturing diodes: Silicon or germanium? Explain why? B. Explain what happens to the dynamic resistance of the diode as the forward current increases. C. Determine the values of Vpj. Vp2, Ipi. Ip: and PIV for D, in the circuit of the figure shown below, given that ra'=50 2 and rR=2M2 for both diodes. Assume Practical diode model approximation. 2k2 + VDI - - VDz+ + IDI 4k2 5V 12V
